On the exact continuous mapping of fermions

, 2018
We derive a rigorous, quantum mechanical map of fermionic creation and annihilation operators to continuous Cartesian variables that exactly reproduces the matrix structure of the many-fermion problem.

Environmentally induced stress affects fitness of bold and shy alike: A long‐term study of personality and feather corticosterone in Arctic‐breeding kittiwakes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Quantifying how individuals differ as their environment changes around them is crucial to predict population responses to climate change. By incorporating personality, physiology and life‐history the authors show that while environmental change is likely to impact the whole population equally, when individuals are most impacted will vary across the ...

Dwelling in a post‐fallout landscape: re‐shaping and sustaining life in a former evacuation zone in Fukushima Habiter après la catastrophe : redonner forme au monde et entretenir la vie dans une ancienne zone évacuée à Fukushima

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

Views of Vidigal: negotiating opportunities and risks in a gentrifying favela in Rio de Janeiro Favela avec vue : négocier opportunités et risques dans un quartier en voie de gentrification à Rio de Janeiro

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The contested dynamics of slum gentrification in Rio de Janeiro came into focus during the brief period of relative peace brought by the pacification policy leading up to the 2016 Olympics. In this unprecedented moment, Rio's South Zone favela residents experienced a respite from the daily confrontations with police operations and drug trade violence ...

Field theory of spin-singlet quantum Hall states

, 2000
We formulate a field theory for a class of spin-singlet quantum Hall states (the Haldane-Rezayi state and its variants) which have been proposed for the quantized Hall plateaus observed at the second lowest Landau level.

‘From the Fields Into the Bars’: The Story of Israel's First Transgender Novel, The Cut (1977)

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 1977, an Israeli transgender woman, Judy Spotheim, published an autobiographical novel entitled The Cut. It describes the emergence of a trans community in the commercial‐sex areas of Tel Aviv‐Jaffa, hoping to humanise trans women (coccinelles). This article is the first to study the novel and present a biography of Spotheim.

CHINESE UNIVERSITIES AS URBAN DEVELOPERS: The Tale of Two Innovation Complexes in Nanjing, China

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Chinese universities are important but undertheorized players in the production of urban built environments. Most work focuses on purpose‐built university towns, neglecting the redevelopment of underutilized downtown campuses. Therefore, this article considers how two publicly funded universities in Nanjing attempted to establish ‘innovation ...

Test results and flight experience of ball bearing momentum and reaction wheels [PDF]

The required satellite mission durations and levels of reliability have been considerably increased: While in the beginning of the 70's 3 to 5 year missions were planned, the standard is now 10 years with an expansion to 15 years and more for such ...

Dynamics of the Bose-Hubbard model: transition from Mott insulator to superfluid

, 2006
We study the dynamics of phase transitions in the one dimensional Bose-Hubbard model. To drive the system from Mott insulator to superfluid phase, we change the tunneling frequency at a finite rate. We investigate the build up of correlations during fast

AUGURAL TERRITORIES: On the Prophetic Organizing of the Mid‐range

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article I introduce the concept of augural territories to theorize the urbanism that emerged during pandemic lockdowns. I draw on ethnographic research in Madrid to examine how community‐based responses—including mutual aid networks, food pantries and neighbourhood associations—disrupted the spatial and temporal logics of territorial ...
